I am praying too that these innocent animals are helped. I think the Olympic visitors would enjoy petting and sneaking them food too. Who knows, some kind folks might hear of their plight and actually adopt them if possible.

Last month, the baby of an orca whale, known as J-35, died half an hour after its birth, according to the New York Times.

According to the CBC, the mother had been sparking worry that she might tire herself out after carrying her dead baby's body for over a week. Now, members of her pod are taking turns balancing the baby killer whale's carcass on their noses near San Juan Island, Washington.
